Quiet Midtown Tulsa suburb, close to events

One of the tallest statues in the United States stands guard over Driller’s Landing. The 76-foot Golden Driller serves as a celebration of Tulsa's oil industry roots and draws visitors to what locals otherwise consider a quiet, predominantly residential area. “Midtown Tulsa is a desirable area since there’s a good school system, and it’s close to downtown. Homes here do tend to fly off the market,” says Tammy Kirk, a Realtor for Coldwell Banker Select who has served the Tulsa area for 20 years. Located five miles from downtown Tulsa, the neighborhood features smaller bungalows on quiet streets and offers residents proximity to suburban amenities.

Ranches and bungalows on residential roads

Wide, quiet streets lined with trees are arranged in an organic grid pattern throughout the neighborhood. Bungalows and ranch-style homes with low-pitched roofs dominate the housing stock, offering small lots, narrow fenced backyards and attached garages. Properties were built in the 1940s and 50s, but many have been renovated to include modern finishings. Since the neighborhood is less than five miles from the city center, home prices are higher than those located further from downtown. “The market can be competitive. With much of Midtown Tulsa homes, I joke that you plop the for-sale signs in the yard and wait for the fun to begin,” Kirk says. Home prices depend on renovations and size, but most are priced between $150,000 and $300,000. Since most properties are ranches and bungalows, they are smaller. Some bungalows are 1,000 square feet, and most homes are about 1,500 square feet.

Classic burgers and pie at Brownie’s Hamburger Stand

Local eateries and shops are located along South Harvard Avenue, which runs along the neighborhood’s western edge. Brownie’s Hamburger Stand is a classic American diner serving burgers, root beer and pie. At Trenchers Delicatessen, there are large sandwiches and homemade potato chips. To shop for groceries, Aldi is two blocks south of the neighborhood. A large retail shopping center with stores like Target and Burlington is located on South Yale Avenue, a mile northeast of Driller’s Landing.

Take the bus to downtown Tulsa

The Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority operates bus routes throughout Tulsa. The nearest bus stop is located on 21st Street, which is about a half-mile walk for those living in the southern portion of the neighborhood. Residential streets don’t have sidewalks, but central streets, like South Harvard Avenue and East 25th Street, have narrow sidewalks for residents. Driller’s Landing is largely car-dependent, so locals rely on their personal vehicles to run errands and commute to work. U.S. Route 64 runs along the neighborhood’s southern edge and offers passage northeast toward downtown Tulsa or southeast to connect to Interstate 44.
